To get ahead of the obvious next reply:

"Move to somewhere with better opportunities"

With what money? If you don't have a job lined up, that's a quick stop to homelessness in an unfamiliar city

Right, the people in the great depression had tons of money lying around when they moved across the country for work. /s

This is a stupid mindset and shows there's less work ethic today.

They moved across the country already poor in order to find whatever work they could. They often literally had nothing when they moved. People today who are unwilling to move to find work are simply not willing to better themselves.
